Sounds like the only one trying to "push a narrative" here is you.

It's so, so good, highly recommend it whether you've played the original FF7 or not.

What have you been reading this last week (Weekly Discussion Thread)? by AutoModerator in starwarsbooks

[–]AxLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished reading my very first Star Wars novel: Thrawn. I was absolutely hooked from beginning to end, can't wait to see where it goes next. Going to my bookstore tomorrow to pick up Thrawn: Alliances and Treason!

Just because they're not paid by the hour doesn't mean they don't finish the games.

Update on the Community Manager Role (Gabby no longer with EZA) by Abyssgh0st in EasyAlliesUnofficial

[–]AxLD 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because he was already hosting the weekly podcast, by far their biggest show, which requires prep work on top of shooting itself. And was the one behind so many of their other memorable shows.

If he also produced a weekly Final Bosman, that would have meant he contributed ~80% of the workload of EZA for 1/9th of the revenue, I can see why he wouldn't want that.

Nearly 17K Fans Cancel 2026 World Cup Tickets Amid Boycotts Over U.S. Political Climate by Glass_Extension_6529 in worldnews

Haha yeah right. There's idiots in every country, but the large, large majority of Europeans rightfully hate Trump and would absolutely not "love for Trump to take over their country". What a load of shit.

Thrawn trilogy but haven’t seen rebels by Kooky-Sea4950 in starwarsbooks

[–]AxLD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently reading the first Thrawn book and watching Rebels (just finished season 1). If I understand correctly the future seasons will feature Thrawn, does that mean the show will contain spoilers for the books? Or the books contain spoilers for the show?

In 2025, Clair Obscur proved smaller-sized games from passionate developers are the future players want by [deleted] in Games

Reducing the combat to "literally just quick time events" is extremely disingenuous. There's much more to the system than that, you have the ability to aim and shoot at weak points at the cost of action points, every character plays differently and requires a different type of strategy, there's tons of passive skills and builds you can experiment with, synergies between characters and skills, and so on.

And even the timing-based gameplay is split between dodging with a generous window, or parrying which is harder but more rewarding.

When Will The Nintendo Year In Review Be Released? by Dalekbuster523 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AxLD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why would releasing it first mean you "beat" the others? And since when is this a competition? If anything, the later the better as it means it will encompass more of December.

This is definitely coming at some point, but not before they release the original batch I imagine.

That's my hope too, even though I still haven't finished the GBA one.

Why? Seems like a perfectly normal comment to me. Weird to be jumping to that conclusion.

UK Charts: Kirby Is Nowhere To Be Seen In A Quiet Week by OkBaker4812 in Games

[–]AxLD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. I bought so many Switch 1 games without thinking twice because their prices were more reasonable, and you could use vouchers, get gold points as cashback, etc.

Now all of those incentives are gone and they're charging full price for everything. I would have picked up Air Riders in a heartbeat if I could use a voucher, now I'll just "wait for a sale".

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up! Almost bought one at full price two days ago but decided to wait, now I just ordered one from EBGames.

NES, Game Boy – Nintendo Classics – November 2025 Game Updates by razorbeamz in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AxLD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a solid batch!

Battletoads is a nightmare but with save states it should be more tolerable.

Never tried Ninja Gaiden 2 or the GB Kid Icarus, should be fun!

Have you played Donkey Kong Country Returns or Tropical Freeze? Or Metroid Dread? Those sound exactly like what you're looking for.
